All about Ice Cream| Everything you need to know about Ice Cream

I have a ice cream maker and I follow the directions and have made a few types of ice cream..but every time I put it in the freezer the next time I go get it,,its rock solid like ice. How do you make it from not doing that?

It can sometimes be a little too hard to serve. This can be for a variety of reasons including:

1. Some of your ingredients may not have been cold enough when added to your ice cream recipe mixture (eg. anything you’ve had to heat/cook before adding)

2. The ice crystals (important in all ice cream making) may have been too big after mixing. …
faster mixing/churning = smaller ice crystals
smaller ice crystals = smoother ice cream

3. The amount and/or type of sugar used in the recipe. Concentrated sugar depresses the freezing point of ice cream, too little an amount of sugar in the recipe makes it too soft and too much makes it too hard. Each recipe can vary in how soft or hard the ice cream is after freezing, even if the same amount of sugar is used in each recipe. This is where other factors in this list can have a bearing.

4. Alcohol (such as in a white wine sorbet) is known to lowering the freezing point of anything it’s mixed into.

If mine's too hard, I take it out of the freezer several minutes before I scoop it.

I decided to make this video to help the fans of the Kingdom Hearts Series enjoy a special treat that is featured in Kingdom Hearts II. Sea Salt Ice Cream is a salty sweet ice cream that is enjoyed by many characters in Kingdom Hearts II. ^_^ This video can be used as a complete guide to making Sea Salt Ice Cream, and I hope many will use it for that purpose. ^_^

How do ice cream companies make Neapolitan ice cream? Specifically, how do they arrange it so neatly, side by side, with such an obvious demarcation?

It's really not difficult to do, layer the slabs of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry…compress slightly and there u have it. This technique is used with many food items…its all in the presentation.

I need to make enough Ice Cream for a party will many firefighters and kids on Saturday Nov 10th. I can not find a Ice cream maker because it is off season. Please someone tell me how to make it at home. I need A LOT!!! I don't want to be making ice cream for two days with the single serving ice cream in a bag method. Please please please help.

hi there… To make ice cream in a large amount you can also use an electric mixer. here is my recipe with using one. good luck on your party.

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
Pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs for several minutes until thick and lemon colored. Add 1 cup of milk and blend into the eggs. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Add egg/milk mixture to the sugar and cornstarch. Cook until thick (about 5 minutes) stirring constantly. Allow the custard mixture to cool to room temperature.

When the custard is cool, put into a freezer-safe bowl. Blend in cream and salt. Freeze for 2 hours or until slushy. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla. Whip for 5 to 10 minutes with an electric mixer. Return to freezer and finish freezing (several hours or overnight).

Variations:
After you have whipped the ice cream, fold in 1 to 2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit, nuts and/or chocolate before returning the ice cream to the freezer to finish freezing.

Here are some ideas for additions to your ice cream:

Strawberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Peaches, Cherries (or Maraschino Cherries), Chocolate chips, Butterscotch chips, Crushed Heath bars, Crushed peppermint candy,
Chopped walnuts, Chopped pistachio nuts, Diced bananas,
Coconut, Chocolate chip cookie dough (drop into the ice cream by small spoonfuls and carefully fold in) , Caramel or chocolate or fudge syrup (drop into the ice cream by small spoonfuls and carefully fold in)

I have special occasion, sort of like a family reunion, and everyone who is going is bringing something homemade. Since it is going to be in June, most likely it will be hot. So, I thought that ice cream would make a great refreshing desert. I want to make chocolate and strawberry, but I don't want to spend so much money on tools just to make ice cream. Anyone have a simpler solution?

You can get a cheap icecream maker at Wal-Mart or Target ($30). All you need is ice, rock salt, milk, condensed milk and flavoring. Shouldn't cost that much for ingredients.

Throw all the ingredients (minus ice and salt) in the canister, add ice and salt around the canister in the bucket, plug in, and an hour later you have homemade icecream. Extremely easy and pays for itself after a couple times. Good luck.

I was wondering how Ice Cream can be made using Soy Milk, instead of cows milk. It's sold in stores and I was wondering how I can make it for myself and friends. Since Soy Ice Cream is expensive I want to know how it can be made rather in-expensively without a bunch of chemicals and preservatives.

Ok, here it is. Have fun and enjoy!!

Vegan) Soy Ice Cream

prep time: 5-10 minutes | cooking time: 25 minutes freezing time | makes 3 cups of vegan ice cream

This vegan soy ice cream recipe is easy to make, infinitely customizable, and has a luxuriously creamy texture.
It was developed by the head chef at Goodbaker Gourmet, where we make the world's best organic vegan baking mixes. We wanted something to enjoy with our vegan cake and cookie mixes…

Equipment:
- Blender or food processor
- Ice cream machine (the kind with the tub you chill in the freezer works fine, and they cost less than $50)

Ingredients
1 tetra box firm silken tofu (like Mori-Nu) -or- 8 ounces soy yogurt
Between 3/4 to 1 cup plain soy milk
1/3 cup maple syrup or brown rice syrup (or a combination)
2 tsp vanilla

Directions
Combine all 4 main ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until thoroughly combined and smooth. Blend in any desired flavoring ingredients (see below). Pour into your ice cream machine, and freeze following the manufacturer's instructions.

Add-ins:
For various flavors, add to the food processor:

For Banana Soy Ice Cream, blend in 2 ripe bananas

For Strawberry Soy Ice Cream, blend in 12-16 frozen and partially thawed strawberries.

For Pineapple Soy Ice Cream, blend in 1 can or 1 cup of pineapple (well drained). You may want more sweetener.

For Ginger Soy Ice Cream, add either 1/4 cup preserved ginger or 1 to 2 inches grated fresh ginger (for preserved ginger, add to food processor so it gets ground up).

Use your imagination to come up with new flavors!

Flavored liquers or syrups are a great way to add punch. Try creme de menthe and chocolate chips, or coffee liqueur, or instant coffee powder…
